EXT. WAKANDAN RIVER - DAY
[Several incredible BARGES transport congregations from FOUR WAKANDAN TRIBES, ELDERS, and their TRIBAL WARRIORS in traditional garb, others in modern Wakandan attire, the DORA MILAJE, and KINGS GUARD with spears and shields downriver.]
"Oh, is this challenge day?" Bucky asks excitedly.
"Challenge day?" Tony asks.
"You'll see," Gabrielle says.
EXT. DORA MILAJE BARGE, WAKANDAN RIVER - DAY
[Okoye stands with her second in command, AYO, flanked by a legion of Kingsguard and Dora.]
EXT. ROYAL BARGE, WAKANDAN RIVER - DAY
[Ramonda and Shuri dance.]
EXT. RIVER TRIBE BARGE, WAKANDAN RIVER - DAY
[Nakia dances among her tribal leaders.]
EXT. DORA MILAJE BARGE, WAKANDAN RIVER - DAY
[The Dora slam their spears in unison, sonically triggering
the massive drains at the top of the waterfall and we PULL BACK to reveal natural seating built into the rocks below.]
EXT. WAKANDAN FALLS - DAY
[THE ROYAL TALON FIGHTER flies up to the pool's edge and T'CHALLA steps off the aircraft, holding a short spear and shield and covered in leopard body paint. The crowd chants.]
ELDERS, WARRIORS, DORA: Ngu T'Challa Lo.
CROWD: Ngu T'Challa Lo.
[T'Challa bows at Zuri's feet as the RTF lifts away.]
EXT. SEATING AREA, WARRIOR FALLS
[Thousands of Wakandans stand according to tribe, overlooking a challenge pool: the Border Tribe, the Mining Tribe, the Merchant Tribe, and the River Tribe. FIVE KINGS GUARD DRUMMERS set up near the challenge pool. Ramonda stands at the edge of the pool with Shuri. Nakia is with the River Tribe, W'KABI (the leader of the Border Tribe Army) with the Border Tribe, and Okoye with Ayo and the Dora Milaje.]
EXT. CHALLENGE POOL, WARRIOR FALLS - DAY
[In the water, ZURI (Now Wakanda's High Shaman), holding the massive SPEAR OF BASHENGA, addresses the arena.]
ZURI: I, Zuri, Son of Badu, give to you, Prince T'Challa, the Black Panther!
[The Elders watch as Zuri holds up A CEREMONIAL VESSEL containing a mysterious concoction.]
ZURI (CONT'D): The Prince will now have the strength of the Black Panther stripped away.]
"What...?" Steve asks.
"It's tradition, shut up," Bucky says.
[Zuri pours the solution into T'Challa's mouth. T'Challa reacts violently, choking on the red fluid. T'Challa spasms, his veins expanding and his muscles contracting as the poison spreads through him. But soon, he stops shaking and exhales easily. Zuri turns to the audience.]
ZURI (CONT'D): Damaku...
CROWD: Damaku...
ZURI: Victory in ritual combat comes by yield or death. If any tribe wishes to put forth a warrior, I now offer a path to the throne.
Everyone makes sounds of understanding. "There we go," Bucky says.
"Just had to be patient." Gabrielle shakes her head.
